I Have been playing Fifa for years and have never been able to grasp, nor enjoy (at least since online) Single player playing against the CPU on hard difficulties.Fifa 14 makes the game even harder to play against the CPU as they protect the ball so much.For this achievement what I did was Prior to starting the challenge, Design 2 formations, 1 incredibly attacking , based on 3-4-3 Flat. I pushed everyone as far as I could up the pitch.I then created an opposite formation based on 5-4-1 where by I pulled everyone back as far as they could go.Go To The Main Fifa Menu on the Play Tab , and hover over the "Kick Off" Tile , Flick the RS until you find Highlights of the week and Press ASometimes there may be 1 or 2 different "Match Day Challenges" Read the descriptions and pick one more suitable.From experience I will share 3 examples and explain why 1 particular one is easier than others.Scenario 1Team X are drawing/losing and need to score 1 goal to salvage a draw/ or win 3 points (88 Minutes Gone)Scenario 2Team X need to win the game to keep up their 100% start to the season after being newly appointed. Its 0-0 and they are playing a much better team. (25 Minutes Gone)Scenario 3Team X have just conceded on the 83rd minute to a hugely inferior team and need to turn the game around. (83 minutes Gone)

Best SolutionLoad up your chosen scenario on World Class or More (only legendary left)For me, scenario 1 is the easiest . For this I would concede a corner ASAP , Change you Tactics to Ultra Attacking (Press Right on the D-Pad 3 Times) Change your mentality to High Pressure. (Press Down on the D-Pad and Then Left on the D-Pad , although if High Pressure is not working chose Counter Attack Which is Down Twice on the D-Pad)Press start and pick the attacking formation you createdWhen the corner loads up take a player on the wing and run him as far as you can up the pitch.When the corner is taken try and use the player on the wing and just keep trying that method if not, restart, your formation will save, but the tactics wont so all you will need to do is change the tactcis. (assuming you restarted during the game and not from the main menu)Once you score change to Ultra Defensive (Left on the D-Pad 6 Times) and Chose Possesion by pressing Down on the D Pad then right on the D-Pad.Also change your formation to the 5-4-1 Varient although it may say 5-5-0 depending on how you designed it.

This method worked for me twice as I found it so so hard to play against the CPU on this difficulty. If choosing scenario B do the same method , but you have more time to score, but more time to absorb attacking players, so If you feel you can break on the counter from a corner, do that.

Sorry if this guide seems a bit complicated, but the there wasnt many on here so I thought I would explain how I got it. I would always recommend the last 10 mins to score ONE goal (Two is far too difficult IMO). If you dont do it simply restart , instead of trying for 75 minutes to score, or scoring early and defending for 70 odd minutes. You WILL eventually score and hold on.Cheers , let me know how you get on with this method and if it helped. :)
